$PECIFICATION forming par: of Letters Patent No. 339,193, dated April 6, 1886.

Application filed February 9, 1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Asa PARK LACEY, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Minneapolis, county of Hennepin, and State of Minnesota, have invented an Improvement in IroningBoards, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

Figure 1 is a side elevation view showing the board in position for use. Fig. 2 is a front elevation View. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the ironingboard. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one end of the board, showing relative positions of the parts when closed up. Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged details showing the manner of attachment to the wall or wainscoting.

This invention relates to improvements in ironing-boards; and'it consists, essentially- First. In the grooved cleat a, securely fastened on the broad end of the boardA,to prevent its warping and as a means of more securely fastening the board B which is permanently attached to the board proper by means of the iron hinges c c, as partially shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The cleat a a is further shown in Fig. 3.

Second. In the means of fastening to the Serial No. 155,426. (No model.)

wall, which is accomplished by the use of the hinged board B, with the iron hooks e e, Fig. 4, driven or screwed into the board, which are inserted into the screw-eyes 1; '17, securely fastened in the wall, Figs. 5 and 6. Board B is then turned up and held in position by the button n, attached to the board A by the screw I). The board 13, acting as a lever on the cush' ion 0' a, fastened by tacks or screws to the board B, presses the hooks firmly into the screw-eyes, as in Fig. 6, and supported by the brace u, secures the ironing-board firmly but not rigidly to the wall.

Having thus described my inventioinwhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The board A, in combination with the cleat a, the hinged board B, the cushions 1' 9', hooks e e, screw-eyes z 1', button a, and brace 14.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
